Verdict
Same compact idea as the F1 with more power on both lasers: 15 W blue instead of 10 W, and 5 W infrared instead of 2 W. The bigger infrared is the reason to pick it, because it marks metal and plastics faster and can do some color marking. xTool gives no maximum cutting thickness, so treat it as an engraver.
Buy it for
- Personalization on metal, plastic, leather and wood
- Anyone choosing between F1 and F2 today (the F2 is the better machine)
- Small spaces and travel to events
Skip it if
- You need to cut thick material
- You want a bed larger than 115 mm square
- Your budget is under $500 (look at the F1 Lite or a Falcon A1)
What it can do, material by material
Based on the laser types it carries. "With coating" means only with marking spray, a coated surface or light marks. Always test on scrap first.
